This is so yum!! By far one of the best chicken recipes I have ever made!!! I omitted the saffron and grilled it on low (still only needed to cook for 15-20 mins) so as to prevent it from charring as I don't like the tasted of charred foods. It turned out juicy and tender and just plain delicious!! Highly recommended!

This was not bad, but was also not anything special.

This is great! I also used it on pork but omitted the saffron.

Yummy... Totally agreed, this is a great break from the soy based marinades. We'll be adding this to our collection. Skipped the saffron. Good stuff.

This was good-but I won't make this a regular in my house. I did reduce the oil as others suggested. The cooking time is too long for boneless chickne. I would recommend cooking this only 10 minutes each side.

Excellent, excellent and excellent!!! The recipe made a great sauce to put over egg noodles. My mom said that it was similar to something she had at the New York Hilton. She highly recommended me making this again.

definately delish. I normally don't like anything charred, but the "char" is just carmolized sugar... it's my new favorite marinade. We barbequed chicken and had it as a main corse, and i also have used the George Foreman to cook the chicken in this marinade and then sliced it up for salads. Highly recomended :)

Zesty is right. This is a great change from all the soy sauce marinades. The chicken had great flavor. I marinted it during the day as opposed for 20 or 25 minutes. I also didn't have saffron but I don't think it made a difference. I also doubled the garlic. When it came off the grill it looked fantastic. A nice brownish glaze with all the herbs basted in. My husband said this was a keeper. Make it, eat it, enjoy it.

This recipe is AWESOME. I thought the ingredients looked pretty weird altogether but thought I'd try it anyhow. My husband and I loved it. So I made it for my in-laws who loved it, and then for my family back home, and they loved it, too. Everyone I make this for has asked for the recipe. The only change I made was that I left out the saffron because I simply can't afford it! But one of these days I'd like to try it with it and see if it adds anything... NOTE: It's a few months later, and I'm on the Atkins diet. I modified the recipe and it was just as good! I omitted the honey and used Splenda in place of the sugar. My husband didn't even know the difference.

SO GOOD! Saffron is a bit expensive but luckily I had some. It doesn't really add much flavor so with or without is fine. Also try this recipe without sugar and honey it's still really good. *HINT* You only need enough olive oil to coat.

This recipe was okay, but it had A LOT of olive oil in it. Also, the saffron was too expensive and didn't add much taste. If you cut down on the olive oil and eliminate the saffron, the recipe is good, but I wouldn't put it into my regular rotation of recipes.

This was very tasty. My son said "Mom, this is so so so good!" My two year old didn't throw it around either. For once he was quiet and ate. This is the first time I've used a recipe online so I was kind of sceptical. This sure made a believer in me.

I've just recently been trying to take over some of the cooking responsibilities for my wife, and this was my first big endeavor - my wife and i LOVED it! It tasted like something you might expect to receive at a high-class restaurant!
